The University of Central Florida (UCF) is extending a newly formed dedicated research network to three buildings on the main campus and deploying the Internet2 Innovation Platform on the research network. This project is providing on-campus researchers access to a Science DMZ, software-defined networking (including OpenFlow), and 10 Gb/s ports at their desktops. This enables labs with data-intensive research in departments such as Physics and Computer Science to use a dedicated research network, avoiding competition for bandwidth with other traffic on UCF's enterprise network. Additionally, UCF is installing perfSonar nodes to help monitor traffic on the research network, as well as a node to serve as an OpenFlow controller for software defined networking.These improvements to UCF's cyberinfrastructure improve access for faculty, graduate student researchers, and undergraduates to facilities in the Central Florida Research Park, such as the STOKES Advanced Research Computing Center. It also improves access to Florida LambdaRail (FLR), which enhances collaboration with a variety of institutions throughout Florida. This effort establishes the foundation of a dedicated research network, which helps UCF continue to align itself with the National Science Foundation's CI vision for discovery by working to provide the science and engineering communities with access to world-class CI tools and services, including those focused on: high performance computing; data, data analysis and visualization; observatories and virtual organizations; and education and workforce development.

中佛罗里达大学 (UCF) 正在将新组建的专用研究网络扩展到主校区的三栋建筑，并在研究网络上部署 Internet2 创新平台。该项目为校园研究人员提供了访问 Science DMZ、软件定义网络（包括 OpenFlow）和桌面上 10 Gb/s 端口的权限。这使得物理和计算机科学等系进行数据密集型研究的实验室能够使用专用的研究网络，避免与 UCF 企业网络上的其他流量竞争带宽。此外，UCF 正在安装 perfSonar 节点以帮助监控研究网络上的流量，以及充当软件定义网络 OpenFlow 控制器的节点。这些对 UCF 网络基础设施的改进改善了教师、研究生研究人员和本科生对设施的访问佛罗里达州中部研究园，例如 STOKES 高级研究计算中心。它还改善了佛罗里达州 LambdaRail (FLR) 的访问，从而加强了与佛罗里达州各地各机构的合作。这项工作为专门的研究网络奠定了基础，通过努力为科学和工程界提供世界一流的 CI 工具和服务，包括那些专注于研究的工具和服务，帮助 UCF 继续与国家科学基金会的 CI 发现愿景保持一致。上：高性能计算；数据、数据分析和可视化；观察站和虚拟组织；以及教育和劳动力发展。
